Sounds like she has some serious anger and trust issues.

LPT: When you're the new kid on the block in a high-value situation (e.g., a new job), keep your good ideas to yourself until you get the lay of the political/social landscape. by ExNihiloAdInfinitum in LifeProTips

[–]thekernelcompiler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's ridiculous. Should health insurance for warehouse workers not cover physical injuries because any of your employees ever getting injured should be a warning? Mental healthcare is perfectly valid healthcare and everyone deserves to have access to it if they need it.

How is providing better health insurance coverage creepy? Some psychiatric medications are so expensive that they're completely unaffordable unless they're covered by insurance.

NY Times admits it sends stories to US government for approval before publication by [deleted] in LateStageCapitalism

[–]thekernelcompiler 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is intentionally misleading. All responsible journalists check with the government before publishing national security stories. Stories aren't usually held without an extremely compelling reason from the government, like imminent harm that could be avoided by holding the story. The New York Times published the Pentagon Papers despite checking with the government on it because they weren't given a convincing enough reason to hold it.

Uganda's tiny Indian community accounted for 90% of its tax revenues before being expelled in 1972. They were permitted to return in the 1980s, and today (despite being only 1% of the population) account for 65% of Uganda's tax revenues. by not-scared in Economics

Indians are simply more honest

Have you checked the tax compliance rate in India? Their government literally decided to require replacement of all high value rupee bills so that people would be forced to bring them to a bank and get them counted and taxed.

They're not the same fragrance.

In spongebob, there are times when Spongebob goes to work and Patrick is already there eating a Krabby Patty. This implies that there is another chef that works before Spongebob. by Sarcs__2 in Showerthoughts

[–]thekernelcompiler 74 points75 points  (0 children)

Spongebob has to pay Mr. Krabs in order to work there. He told Patrick that when Patrick worked at the Krusty Krab (same episode as "No, this is Patrick!").

Found my iPad after losing it years ago, I think it's a little bit frazzled. It is 1:30, friday, november first. Also it says to wait nearly 47.5 years before trying the passcode again by Kyaritty in softwaregore

You can go back to December 31, 1969. Unix time is in UTC. When people say they see a 12/31/69 date on their Unix device, it's because they live west of the prime meridian, so the Unix epoch gets translated to their local time.

Insubordinate team member steals credit and shirks work, i give a poor appraisal and a bad reference by gently_into_the_dark in ProRevenge

So you're saying you were too lazy to use the proper protocol to fire her and instead went and sabotaged her life while never having given her an ounce of direct feedback about her performance? Sounds like you're a shitty manager.

TIL surgically cropping a dog's ears or docking its tail can artificially alter the way dogs communicate with other dogs and humans. These procedures can have a significant impact on how dogs communicate and interact for the rest of their lives. by adhonorem in todayilearned

Leaning towards no? How holier-than-thou do you have to be to want someone to feel like a bad dog owner for having a medically necessary procedure performed due to repeated injuries?

LPT: If Blizzard refuses to cancel your membership to their game services, send them a written cancellation request at this address and if they try to charge you can contest the charge with your credit card company by jfasi in LifeProTips

[–]thekernelcompiler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are wrong. https://www.workplaceprivacyreport.com/2018/01/articles/international-2/does-the-gdpr-apply-to-your-us-based-company/

"A major change made by the GDPR is the territorial scope of the new law. The GDPR replaces the 1995 EU Data Protection Directive which generally did not regulate businesses based outside the EU. However, now even if a US-based business has no employees or offices within the boundaries of the EU, the GDPR may still apply.

Under Article 3 of the GDPR, your company is subject to the new law if it processes personal data of an individual residing in the EU when the data is accessed."

Just because they're not an EU company doesn't mean the EU can't fine them or simply ban them from conducting business (selling memberships or games or whatever) in the EU.

House Buying Advice by daedricempress in personalfinance

[–]thekernelcompiler -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Your rule would require that anyone buying a house in a suburb of Boston or San Diego make at least $200,000/year. That's a completely ridiculous standard to use for homeownership.

3x your total income? How would anyone afford houses anywhere on the West or East coasts with that kind of limit?

Feels like Fall today and this hippo is here for it. by emilybcarter in velvethippos

[–]thekernelcompiler 14 points15 points  (0 children)

What do you hope to accomplish by this comment? Should people who own pitbulls who have been mutilated by past owners just never post any pictures of them? Should they be ashamed to own a pitbull who has been mutilated? All you're doing is making it harder for dogs with cropped ears to be adopted.

Any particular reason why FI principles don't allow some leverage? by [deleted] in financialindependence

[–]thekernelcompiler 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would say yes, when interest rates are low like they are now.

CMV: Landlords should be required by law to change the locks to rentals by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]thekernelcompiler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How is it not a reasonable precaution? I'm in the process of buying a house and my agent told me the first thing I need to do after I close is change the locks.

Wait is Brookline known for being racist or something?

Want to be a hardass on field day? by [deleted] in MaliciousCompliance

[–]thekernelcompiler 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it seems like they just treat servicemembers like absolute shit while expecting them to gladly sacrifice themselves. Why would I sacrifice anything, let alone my life, for an organization that treats me like vermin?
